Q:I'm not seeing the sale price, what is going on?A: If the deal is live, make sure you are logged-in to Xbox.com or your 360 with a GOLD account. Sometimes there is a disconnect between Xbox.com and the Xbox Dashboard.

Q:When do the deals go live?A: Deal of the Week deals go live on Tuesday morning usually around 9am EST. (Monday's before 3/22/11)

Q:What about all the other sales and promos?A: Microsoft has gotten into the habit of offering other sales and promos as well as the Deal of the Week. I list them in this thread to reduce clutter on the Deals Forum and to help maximize your savings.

Q:Should I have any concerns about waiting to buying something on sale?A: After a few years of experience with Xbox LIVE. I think you might want to know:-Items can be pulled from Xbox.com with little or no notice (Games, Content, DLC)-If you wait for an item to go on sale, it might never come (and the item(s) could be pulled)-End dates can be flimsy. This could mean the sale is cut a bit short (RARE) or run a bit over (Happening more often). Don't count on this happening if you are on the fence. You might miss the sale.-Consider keeping 800-1200 points on reserve for a 1-Day sale. They are rare, but you will kick yourself if you miss it

Q:What if I don't see a sale/promo listed here?A: Post it and PM me. PM's are the best way to make sure I see the missing info and get this thread updated.

Q:Do you mind if I copy this info and post it somewhere else?A: Not really, but I hope you would respect my hard work enough to mention where you got it from and not just straight copy and paste my posts.

Q:Do you have a list of the older sales?A: Yes. These are all 7 days unless, otherwise noted.1/3 - Deal of the Week

Q:I noticed some talk about "compilation discs?" What is that and is it cheaper?A: Some of the content from Xbox Live has been put on retail discs. Some discs have XBLA games, others have several pieces of DLC from one game. Depending on what content you are looking for it you might want to consider looking for a retail disc. Some CAGs and myself have put together this handy list. When an item that can be found on one of these disc goes on sale, a disc vs D/L discussion will likely come up in the thread.

Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection*:* This disc has a separate set of achievements (1000 GS) and does not support online play or XBLA title updates. Save files from the XBLA versions are not compatible.

-Altered Beast-Comix Zone-Golden Axe-Phantasy Star II-Shinobi (unlockable)-Sonic the Hedgehog-Sonic the Hedgehog 2-Sonic the Hedgehog 3-Sonic & Knuckles**-Streets of Rage** The version include with the Genesis Collection does not support SEGA's lock-on technology with the three Sonic titles. Aside from owning the actual carts, the only way to access this content is to buy the games through the LIVE Marketplace (or Wii Shop Channel). It also contains several games that are not XBLA titles.

Hmm I'm not sure if that would be the best way to play it. Mind you I've never played YDNJ online. But it might be a bad experience to be honest. The shows are always the same. So the questions are exactly the same each time. You might get some online play now that it's on sale and you might get a heap of new players looking to try online out this week who haven't played many of the episodes but anyone who has played an episode before could just memorize the answers and beat you solidly (or you could do the same to an unwitting person). It's really more of a game you play with people at home and then maybe 3 months later after you forgot the episode and answers you can play it again. Each episode is like 15-20 minutes from what I recall but my gf and I would go through 3 or 4 at a time. It's a great gf game to be honest, the only one of mine she actually doesn't mind playing. But if you are looking for online only you might get frustrated with sharks out there online who know episodes by heart - though if anyone has a different experience please tell me as I'm just guessing here.

Yay fresh thread. Just in time too, since things were boiling over with the slow rollout of the new dashboard (I haven't gotten mine yet) and all the CAGs on edge to get in on the deals which were late to show this week.

With school and work taking over most of my life. I really appreciate eveyone who helped keep this thread running.

I'm glad to have you back. I also will continue to appreciate the collective effort everyone put forth in keeping other Xbox 360 CAGs informed.

With Nexuiz on sale again, maybe I should finally get around to removing the game from the backlog before the online community really dries up and forces my 200MSP purchase to be a waste. If something gets organized, let me know.

I bit on Apples to Apples. My 60gb hard drive is pretty full at the moment and after playing the trial for 10 min I figured I'd have a bit of fun with the 90mb game - for $3 it's less than a coffee so why not (coffee in Australia is ridiculously expensive by the way, used to coffee at a cheap donut shop being like $1 in North America, here it's like $4 - sigh, the price you pay for living in paradise)

This, exactly. I don't think the online would be all that fun unless it was with people you knew that haven't played the game before.

@Tsel - In response to what you wrote in the old thread, I'd say pass on Voltron. It seriously sucks. I'd say it would be an okay buy at 200, but not even worth 400. I didn't find it quite as bad as Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime, but very close.

Interesting...the german GoD of Metro 2033 is missing around 400 MB in the download file the austrian marketplace has the same price but I guess it's uncut (damn restrictions over here) I guess I'll get the austrian edition then since I still have points on that account...to bad the DLC isn't on sale again...
